WASHINGTON (AP) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Donald Trump is “putting himself first at the expense of the country” by halting negotiations over a new coronavirus aid package from Congress. Pelosi said Tuesday that Trump “showed his true colors” in stopping the talks between congressional leaders and the White House that were aimed at bringing some $2 trillion in new aid to fight the coronavirus. The Democratic leader says Trump is “unwilling to crush the virus” and is abandoning the needs of children and other Americans. Trump announced the move less than 24 hours after leaving the hospital while fighting his own case of the coronavirus.
